0:05
At the end of this video lesson, you'll learn how to answer questions about public holidays
0:11
or holidays. Besides, you'll learn collocations and topic vocabulary words that can help you develop
0:17
better answers. So, if you wanna know how to talk about public holidays in IELTS Speaking, stick around
0:30
First, prepare some collocations for the topic Holidays, as collocations help you express
0:43
your answers better and at the same time make you sound natural
0:48
I've prepared some for Verb plus Holiday. We have Go on a holiday
0:55
Be entitled to a holiday. Take a holiday. Have a holiday. And get a holiday
1:03
Make sure to use any of these in your answers. Now, let's begin answering the questions
1:12
First question. How many public holidays do you have in your country
1:17
Well, I can't be accurate as I've never paid much attention to the number of public holidays
1:22
a year. I suppose there are more than 10 in a year
1:26
Anyway, I love public holidays because whenever I work on those special days, I can earn double
1:33
Now, let me give you a different way to answer that question
1:37
I can't be wrong on this, to be exact, 15 all in all
1:41
And the most important national holiday in my country is the Independence Day
1:46
We give so much importance to that holiday as it reminds us about how our ancestors fought
1:51
for their rights to attain freedom and we can't thank them enough as we are now enjoying
1:56
our liberty. Next question. How do you usually spend your holidays? Well, it depends
2:06
If I have consecutive holidays, I usually travel and enjoy sightseeing. I always have this travel bug in me that I can never ignore
2:14
I know that traveling costs an arm and a leg, but I find pleasure in it
2:19
However, if the holiday is just a day or two, I normally stay at home and rest. Next
2:27
Do you think people need more public holidays? Here's my first answer
2:32
Yes, I do think so. As more and more companies become so demanding to their workers these days, it is just right
2:39
for workers to be given more holidays in order for them to recharge their batteries better
2:45
I do believe that governments should provide a little bit more of public holidays to citizens
2:50
so that they'll be able to spend a good amount of time resting or enjoying their personal
2:55
time with their family. Now here's my second answer. Well, to be honest with you, I can only talk about the people in my country since I don't
3:06
have any idea about the other people in other countries and the situation they're in
3:11
Speaking of my countrymen, I don't think they need to be given more holidays because our
3:16
country has already a lot of national holidays. The current number of public holidays in this country is already enough
3:23
If we add more, businesses will be affected and it will have a negative impact on the economy. Next
3:30
What's your favorite holiday? Here's my first answer. Obviously, it's New Year
3:38
I just love it. I like to start with a clean slate and being excited to what lies ahead
3:43
Surely, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones during the holiday and I'm more than
3:48
eager to make New Year's resolutions. That's just an amazing holiday. Here's my second answer
3:56
Without a doubt, it's Christmas. For me, that's always the best time of the year
4:01
I like the ambience and I love the smiling faces of people during this holiday
4:05
I feel the love that people show wherever I go and that really inspires me
4:10
I wish every day is Christmas. Now, it's your turn. Write your own answers in the comment section below and I'll improve them if they need to
